While chatting with the hitmaker from her studio, the talk show host swooned over just how cute his new baby is, comparing her to a ‘porcelain doll.’

Usher laughed and made a crack about how the cuteness changed when ‘you have to change her diaper.’

This isn’t The Voice star’s first rodeo, however, he is already a father to two older sons, Usher V, 12, and Naviyd, 11.

The Grammy-winner told Ellen that the big brothers were adjusting to the new normal and ‘coping well’ with their little sister.  

'I'm kind of the apple of her eye right now,' he said, flashing his megawatt smile.

‘They’re a little bit too protective even with me sometimes,’ the singer said of his older sons. 

He laughed in the clip about how he’s no longer the ‘cool’ dad in the eyes of his boys as they inch closer to their teen years so he’s happy to be able to start the process fresh.

Usher isn’t the only one smitten with the newest addition to the Raymond family. His mom is thrilled to have another grandbaby. 

‘So, my mom, with all of the kids she gives them their own rooms,’ Usher said  explaining that both of his son’s have their own rooms at their grandmom’s, as does his niece Star. 

‘I’m like, “well, mom you’re kind of out of space, what are you gonna do?” She’s like ” Oh, no, no, no, no, no. She’s gonna have a room, she’s just going to take your room.’
